I previously posted the following topic and received the following reply:

I am preparing to begin my install, but have a couple questions on my remote turn-on leads.  I am running three ppi amps, and an alumapro c.a.p. 5 which all require a remote turn on.  What is the easiest(although ideally best) way to do this?  I was thinking of running the turn on lead from the head unit to the alumapro, and then just running the three amps to a toggle switche(es).  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Hi cyberbackpacker, if you do not need to turn one or more on/off independently from the others, here's the simplest solution to turn them all on with the remote turn on lead of your head unit.

My question is this time, pardon my ignorance, is how do I go about obtaining an SPDT Relay, or making one.  If I could be given so more guidance, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

You can go to any stereo shop our electronics store and ask for a 12 volt SPDT relay.

That diagram looks suspiciously like the external horn relays I used to install along with mobile radios/cell phones (in a previous life).  Find the local 2 way radio shop and/or cellular installers, or, better yet, a shop that sells electronic components (and I don't mean best buy, ie).  I dont remember the p/n or I would supply it to you.
